Abstract

In this paper, a reactive power compensation system is presented where inductor plays a major role for developing the lagging condition. Reactive power variations have an effect on the generating systems, lines, circuit-breakers, transformers, relays and isolators. Due to this there is an effective voltage sags and increased losses. In the proposed system, voltage and current pulse lead time are given to the interrupt pins of the microcontroller in which the fed program helps to bring the shunt capacitors in circuit for the reactive power compensation. Based on the delay the program fed in the microcontroller brings the result which gives the number of relays using relay driver IC from its output to connect shunt capacitors into the load circuit till the power factor reaches nearest to unity.
